PAPER FOR WATER-CLOSET PURPOSES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 2, 1907.

Application filed January 7, 1907. Serial Nil-351,061.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be itknown that -I, PERCY H. SAVORY, a subject of the King of England,residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have in vented a certain new and useful Improvement in Papers forWater-Closet Purposes, of which the following is a full, clear, concise,and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming a part of this specification. I

My invention relates to protective devices or covering, particularly topapers or other material to be used ticular arrangement being best shownon the accom panying drawing, in which Figure l shows a strip of paperafter having been run through a cutting machine; Fig. 2 is a front viewof the holder showing the paper supported thereon after having beenfolded, and Fig. 3 is a side view of the-supporting holder and paper.

The material from which the paper is prepared is in the form of a roll,and the'paper may then be run through a cutting machine to emerge in theform shown in Fig. 1. The paper after being out has oval openings 1,having substantially the contour of the opening in the closet seat, butsomewhat smaller. Between the oval openings are the sets of transverseperforations 2 and 3, and between these lines are the sets of circularperforations 4 and 5. A tongue 6, may also be provided at the front endof the oval openings to further assist in protecting the user. Afterasuitable lengthof paper has been run through the cutting machine, it isfolded lengthwise along the center line a and then the paper is foldedtransversely; along the lines I) and c, that is, the paper is firstfolded along the'line a and then folded accordion fashion along thetransverse lines b and c, so that after the folding operation, thecircular perforations 4 and 5,

.and the perforation lines 2 and 3, will be in register and appear atthe top of the folded pack. In other words, after folding, the edgesalong the lines c will be board 7, having lugs 8, by means of which itmay be secured to the support or wall 9. Extending from the backboard 7,along the upper edge thereof are the screws 10, spaced to enter theperforations 4 and 5, when the pack is applied to the holder. The'strap11 is then applied over the screws 10, and by means ofihumo nuts 12, isdrawn to securely clamp the pack to the backboard or holder 7. The strap11 is of such width that the perforation lines 2 and 3, are just belowthe edge thereof, and when a section of the paper is to be used, it canreadily be detached along the perforation line. Y

Byfolding the paper as described the device is of a convenient sizeforuse in public buildings, but I do not wish to belimited to the mannerof folding described, as the paper after being cut may be folded in anymanner to obtain a pack of any desired shape or size, and the pack canbe made small enough to be conveniently carried in the pocket. The papermay be also specially prepared to be antiseptic, and by the use of thispaper, water closets can be used with safety without danger of coming incontact with disease germs or vermin. Any form of holder also may beemployed.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent.

1. A rectangular pack or bundle of sections of antiseptic materialformed by folding longitudinally a long con tinuous band of sections,then folding said sections transversely or accordion fashion, eachsection when detached from the puck and unfolded presenting a suitableopening for adapting the section as a protective cover on seats of waterclosets.

2. A pad composed of a plurality of closet seat covers or sectionsofnntiseptic paper, or the like, mounted upon a holder. and formed byfolding longitudinally a long continuous band of'perr'oratcd sections,then foldingsaid sections transversely or accordion fashion, eachsection having suitable openings or perforations adapted to register tothereby facilitate the detachment of the individual sections from theholder.

il. in combination, a holder. 21 pack or bundle of paper sectionsmounted upon the holder, said pack or bundle being; formed by foldinglongitudinally a long continuous bond of paper. then folding saidsections transversely or accordion fashion, there being perforutionlines upon each section adapted to register whereby the sections may bedetached from the holder, oach section having a suitable opening foradopting" the suction when detached and un folded to be used as aprotective cover on water closet seats.

4. In combinalion, a holder. a pack or bundle of paper sections mountedupon the holder, sold pack or bundle being formed by foldinglongitudinally u long; continuous hand of paper. [hon ioldiiif: saidsections transversely or accordion fashion. l'hcrc bciuc; perforationlines upon each section adapted to rcgisicl' whereby the sections may bedetached from the holder, cur-h section having a suitable opening foradapling lhc scciion when detached and um folded to be used as aprotective cover on water closet seats, there being a tongue for eachsection for extending downwardly from the front edge of the sectionopening when the section is applied to the seat.

' scams 5. In combination, a holder, a pack or bundle of paper sectionsmounted upon the holder, said pack or bundle being formed by foldinglongitudinally and transversely a long continuous band of sections,there being perforation lines upon two ends of each section adapted toregis ter when said sections are folded whereby the sections may bedetached from the holder, there being circular openings upon saidsections for registering when the sections are folded to facilitatemounting of the sections, each section having an oblong opening foradapting the section when detached and unfolded to be used as a protective cover on water closet sea-ts, there being a tongue for eachsection forextending downwardly from the front edge of the sectionopening when the section is applied to the seat.

6. A pad or bundle composed of a plurality of closet seat covers orsections of antiseptic paper mounted upona holder having a member 11,said bundle being formed by folding a long continuous band of sectionslongitudinally and transversely or accordion fashion, each septionhaving perforation lines adapted to register when said sections arefolded, said perforation lines appearing a slight distance below themember 11 when mounted upon the holder thereby to facilitate thedetachment of the sections trom the holder, each section having anoblong opening tor registering with the closet seat.
